Paul, same motherboard, same controller, running NT4 SP6. I've never
had any hangs or crashes attributed to the disk controller, nor any
problems running twin Celerons (which is reputed to be risky). Uptime
usually measured in weeks, would be longer if the ISDN TA didn't get
confused so often...

Bear in mind as well though with the RAID IDE controller that it has
no on board cache memory, so I wouldn't expect performance
improvements to be that dramatic.
